the Random.Next is not a static method. You can either pass the instance as the

Hi Martin,
Yes, I figured that out a little while later. Too bad I had already made
a fool of myself. ;-)
However, I think your question brings up a valid point ... how do we
distinguish between static and instance methods in the __doc__ strings? Surely
there is not difference now and that is confusing.
Fair enough. Something else that struck me while I was fishing around
was that the doc string for both "ref" and "out" parameters show
"<typename>&" (where "<typename>" appears as the real type name).
Which, in turn, got me thinking about how one would go about specifying
an overload for methods that took ref/out params?
And finally, I'm having trouble calling functions with "ref" parameters:
>>> print Foo.__doc__
int Foo(System.Int32&)
>>> a = 5
>>> Foo(a)
IronPython.Objects.PythonValueError: Bad args for the method <method#
Foo on Sanity.Util.Helpers>
at input_5.Run(Frame frame)
Where "Foo" is defined as:
public static int Foo(ref int a) {
a *= 2;
return a * 2;
}
Other than that, the new overload selector stuff lets me dump a whole
bunch of my C# helper functions I had previously needed. Huzzah!
Keep the good stuff coming!
